Cursed By Fate

“I love you too, Laura,” Carl replied, smiling at her. “And I’m so glad you like the bracelet. I wanted to get you something special, something that would symbolize our love for each other.”

Laura nodded, her eyes still shining with tears.

” I don’t know why I feel so emotional these days,” Laura said, using her hand to wipe the tears running down her cheeks.

“It’s beautiful, Carl. And it means so much to me that you would think of me like that.”

” This is the least I can do for our love babe ” Carl said as he drew her close to himself to give her a tight hug.

As Carolina returned with the wine, Laura turned to her. “Caro, I can’t believe Carl got us this beautiful bracelet. It’s so expensive! How did he even afford it? , his pay is barely enough to feed him !” Laura was worried that Carl might do something he was not supposed to do to get the money for the bracelet .

Carolina smiled mischievously. “Let’s just say Carl has his ways, Laura. And besides, it’s not about the price tag, it’s about the thought and love behind it and you don’t have to worry about anything.”

Laura nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Carl. She knew he wasn’t earning a lot, but he had still managed to get her something so special. She felt lucky to have him in her life.

As they continued the party, Laura couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with emotion. She had never felt so loved and appreciated in her life. And she knew that she owed it all to Carl and Carolina, who had gone above and beyond to make her birthday special.

The three of them all sat down at the balcony of Laura’s house and feasted over wine and snacks. In the process they talked and talked about themselves and Everything going on around them.

Not quite long , Carolina began to doze off while seated . Laura and Carl made fun of her . Immediately she noticed she was being made fun of, so she decided to go and get some sleep, leaving Laura and her boyfriend outside.

Laura leaned over to Carl and whispered in his ear. “I have a surprise for you too, Carl. Something that I think you’ll love.”

Carl looked at her curiously, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “What is it, Laura?”

Laura smiled mischievously. “You’ll just have to wait and see, my love. But trust me, it’s something that will make you very happy.”

And with that, Laura leaned over and kissed Carl, the two of them lost in their own little world of love and happiness.

Carolina, whom they thought was asleep, remembered she needed to call her mom and her phone outside where Laura and Carl were . She went outside to pick up her phone and saw Carl and Laura enjoying each other’s company.

” Hrrrkkkkroaqck !! ” Carolina cracked her throat to distract them.

They were both startled when they saw Carolina standing before them with her face turned to the other side .

” I thought you already went inside to sleep ?” Laura asked, looking at Carolina like she was going to stab her for spoiling her fun .

” Yea , I realized I needed to call my mom for something important that could not wait till tomorrow so I had to come back for my phone “Carolina replied.

” Here is it ” Carl said, stretching the phone towards Carolina.

She collected her phone and left their presence immediately.

” I’m so sorry about that babe,” Laura said, looking down at the fingers she was twisting.

“Don’t tell me you are shy ?” Carl said as he use his index finger to raise Laura’s chin to look at him.

” No I’m not ! ” Laura replied quickly like she truly is . ” Why would I be ?” Laura asked again.

” Ok , I’ve heard . You are not shy but just trying to check out your twisted fingers all again ” Carl replied sarcastically.

Laura playfully rolled her eyes and slapped Carl’s arm. “You’re such a tease!” she said, laughing.

Carl chuckled and pulled her close. “I’m just keeping things real, my love,” he said, smiling.

As they sat there, enjoying each other’s company, Laura’s mind started to wander back to the surprise she had planned for Carl. She couldn’t wait to see the look on his face when she revealed it to him.

“Hey, Carl?” she said, looking up at him with a sly grin.

“Yeah, babe?” he replied, raising an eyebrow.

“Let’s go inside a bit,” Laura said, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

Carl nodded, curious, and followed Laura inside. Little did he know, his life was about to change in a big way.

” Don’t be too curious babe , it is the same thing I want to give you had it been we later meet today at your place of work ” Laura said.

” Can you give me a hint ?” Carl asked.

” Nah , I’m not going too ” Laura stood her ground and tried her best not to fall for the cute look Carl was giving her .

” Please babe, you are making me feel nervous right now. I just need you to tell me little about it so I can prepare ahead ” Carl said running after Laura who was walking way to fast than he was.

Laura laughed and quickened her pace, enjoying the thrill of the surprise. “No way, Carl! You’ll just have to wait and see. But trust me, it’s worth the wait,” she said, teasing him with a shy smile.

Carl chuckled and continued to follow her, his curiosity piquing with every step. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” he said, shaking his head in amusement.

Laura nodded, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Maybe a little,” she said, leading him into the living room.

As they sat down on the couch, Carl tried again to get a hint out of Laura. “Come on, babe, just give me a little something. Is it something I’ve been wanting?”

Laura playfully shook her head, her ponytail bouncing with the motion. “Nope, nope, and nope. You’ll just have to wait and see, my love,” she said, snuggling into his side.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Carl sighed, pretending to be frustrated, but Laura could see the excitement in his eyes. She knew he was eager to find out what she had planned, and she was enjoying the suspense.
